1970 Land Rover Series IIA

Description

We love a good classic Land Rover because it looks like it's ready for an adventure no matter if it's climbed to the top of a mountain or just parked in the driveway. That's what makes this 1970 Land Rover Series IIA so appealing. It stands out for the way it retains the look of a true explorer, right down to the details.

The Series IIA is part of the original Land Rover evolution. So the well-presented aluminum body keeps that absolutely iconic shape. The secret to this car's uniqueness is in the added name on the badge name. Santana assembled Land Rover kits for the South American market. So this likely led a life in a warm-weather climate and it comes in left-hand drive... two things that are a desirable rarity when looking at a classic Land Rover. This example appears to be finished in Marine Blue, an original L-R Series color. It makes this one feel especially vintage, and the presentation looks clean and complete while still looking like it has been on a few adventures. It even has all the right features for a true voyager, like the classic solid off-road wheels, a durable front bumper, a full-size spare tire mounted to the hood, and even a trailer hitch. Plus the tie-down canvas roof has the ideal style for an adventurer like this. More than just a trail-ready style, you'll also appreciate the quality in the fundamentals with well-fitting doors, nice body trim, and pliable weather-stripping.

Just like the exterior, the interior keeps the authentic feeling going. It has a terrific classic feel with the thin/grippy steering wheel, tall gearstick, Jaeger gauges, and proper red and yellow levers for four-wheel drive. You can sit three across up front in individual-style seats. Plus, the rear is built for plenty of function. Depending on your plans for this 4x4, you can either install bench seats on both sides, or because it's already a clean slate, you can install liner paint for even more ruggedness. And no matter how you choose to configure your classic Land Rover, you'll always love taking off the top and opening it up to the world.

Under the hood is the classic and robust Land Rover four-cylinder powerhouse. And this continues to run like a well-maintained classic. The four-speed manual gearbox and the control it provides is the true secret for how these Land Rovers conquer every hill they see. And the two-speed transfer case is another key to the go-anywhere ability. But the overall condition of this one doesn't look like it spent its life off the pavement.

If you're a true lover of the outdoors, this is the ultimate tool to get to your favorite places. And even if you just are going to the hardware store, this looks awesome rolling through town, too. Call today!!!
